Frank has a sample of steel that weighs 80 grams. If the density of his sample of steel is 8 g/cm^3 what is the samples volume
\(d=\frac{m}{V} \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ \ V=\frac{m}{d}\\\\ d=8\frac{g}{cm^{3}}\\ m=80g\\\\ V=\frac{80g}{8\frac{g}{cm^{3}}}=10cm^{3}\)
density is the mass of an object/ liquid per unit volume
formula for density is as follows
density = mass / volume
the mass of steel is 80 g
and density is 8 g/cm³
substituting the values in the equation we can find the volume
\(8 g/cm^{3} = \frac{80 g}{volume}\)
volume = 80 g/cm³ / 8 g
volume = 10 cm³
volume of the sample is 10 cm³
